The theme of this year's Competition is Reimagining Learning and there are
two types of awards:  21st Century Learning Lab Designers and Game Changers.


Aligned with National Lab Day as part of the White House's Educate to
Innovate Initiative, the 21st Century Learning Lab Designer awards  will
range from $30,000-$200,000. Awards will be made for learning environments
and digital media-based experiences that allow young people to grapple with
social challenges through activities based on the social nature, contexts,
and ideas of science, technology, engineering and math.  

The Game Changers category-undertaken in cooperation with Sony Computer
Entertainment of America (SCEA) and Electronic Arts (EA),  Entertainment
Software Association, and the Information Technology Industry Council-will
award amounts ranging from $5,000-$50,000 for creative levels designed with
either LittleBigPlanetT or SporeT Galactic Adventures that offer young
people engaging game play experiences and that incorporate and leverage
principles of science, technology, engineering and math for learning.

Each category will include several Best in Class awards selected by expert
judges, as well as a People's Choice Award selected by the general public.
The online application system will open on January 15 and will include three
rounds of submissions, with public comment at each stage.
